Dr. Prabhjot Parmar, Faculty English Department and John Potts, International attended and presented at the International Conference on Hyphenated Identities, Hybrid Selves: Explorations through Literature and Cinema at the University of Mumbai. The conference was hosted by the Centre for Indo Canadian Studies sister Centre, the Indo-Canadian Studies Centre (ICSC) in Mumbai. The 2013 Indo-Canadian Conference at the University of Mumbai set out to explore questions about hyphenated identities and hybrid selves with a specifi focus on Indo-Canadian authors and filmmakers and how they negotiate the space of the hyphen as they express what it means to be “Indo-Canadian.” The conference was very well attended and further strengthened the ties between the University of Mumbai and the University of the Fraser Valley.
